[Slackbuilds-users] [Slackbuild-users] Libraries > poco (1.12.4) buildscript corrections

[Didier Spaier]

Hello,

FWIW for Slint I build poco like this:

./configure \
  --prefix=/usr \
  --no-tests \
  --no-samples \
  --shared \
  --omit=Data/PostgreSQL,Data/ODBC,Data/MySQL \
  --sqlite-thread-safe=2 #multi-threaded, without session sharing support

link to the source repository:

Cheers,
Didier
